A community activist has issued a plea to a thug to stop spraying racist graffiti in Birmingham.

For the past three months, someone has been daubing anti-Islamic taunts on bus stops and telephone boxes along the High Street in Kings Heath.

Community activist Luke Holland and local Labour councillor Claire Spencer have been reporting the crimes to the police and the council but as soon the hate-filled messages are scrubbed off, the culprit strikes again.

In the latest attack, the words ‘No More Mosques, Scum of The Earth’ were scrawled on a telephone box this week.

Mr Holland, 18, believes the same person is responsible for all the attacks.

He said: “The same words are written over and over again, in communal locations, in bus stops and telephone boxes.

“Obviously it’s not a nice thing to happen and I’ve been talking to a number of residents who are concerned and one of them said to me that they’ve never seen any racist graffiti like this and they feel scared.”

With his trusty magic marker pen, Mr Holland changed ‘No More Mosquess (sic)’ to ‘More Mosquess’ and ‘Mosquers (sic) Are A Breadings (sic) Ground For Terrorists’ to ‘Mosquers Are A Breadings For LOVE’.

He also added a peace sign and a heart to illustrate his point.

Unfortunately there have been four further racist graffiti attacks.

He said: “We’ve been finding it and reporting it. The council and police have been really good in dealing with our complaints. The police have got CCTV of the person doing it but it was no good. Hopefully they can reopen the case and catch the person responsible.”

The incidents have inspired Mr Holland to hold a ‘Diversity Day’. He said: “Kings Heath is a lovely area and we all get along. This is a one-off and it doesn’t speak of the community.”
